[solved] Invisible Data Frames...

[Angel_Adam]

hey,i tried to open a dta. file from R-LF2..but i havent found any datframes there's just a sentence says (reinforced little fighter2)..
and same thing with LF2-CE...
can i make em visible to see???
and can i do it???

[Simoneon]

No, for R-f2 you need to open data files with Rammichaels Data Changer.

And btw, that is stupid question...

[prince_freeza]

cuz the dat files of r lf2 are compatible with Rammichaels Data Changer...
we have jigueras dcer i guess.

The data files were actually encrypted (there is a encrypt/decrypt program), so that it is not readable by Jiquera's DCer. All that program did though was that it changed one byte (or something) at the beginning of the file to make it unreadable.

Rammichael's DCer automatically decrypts those data files.

CE LF2's data files cannot (and should not) be opened. (Locked with a reason.) (Different encryption method.)

Actually, CL just added chinese characters into the names and stuff which stopped Jiquera's DCer from reading them .

open the R-LF2 data files with Rammichaels Data Changer you see some
chinese characters infront of the chars names delete them then save it.
You can now open it with Jiquera's DataChanger.

Just for your knowledge; CE dats are encrypted by Rammichael and he was stupid if he could make them readable with a self-programmed DCer. He encrypted the files with something weird so that nobody is able to decrypt them. Forget opening those and rather try replicating the moves (in case you wish).
I think the situation about the RLF2-dats is pretty clear. You need to know the following (you need to open the dats with a hex-editor to see what I mean. Well, at least kinda):
# LF2-dat-files actually begin after the 123^rd character. The 123 characters before are just useless.
# If the first 123 characters deviate from the usual character order, Jiquera's DCer cannot read the file. Rammichael's (and I bet Az's one, too) DCer, however, can because they just jump over these 123 characters and don't care about those.

Oh yes it is just like

Code:

<bmp_begin>
name: 強化John
head: sprite\sys\john_f.bmp
small: sprite\sys\john_s.bmp

where '強化' means 'reinforce'.
That was a little trick which defeats Jiquera's Data Changer.
